Hey,

So I just got an offer from Cass Business School for their MSc in Banking & International Finance.

I'm quite pleased but I've got a big problem; they want me to give an answer by May 29th. I've also applied to Bocconi, St.Gallen and Warwick. I'll only be getting answers from Bocconi and St.Gallen at the beginning of June. As for Warwick, it's on a rolling-basis so I could get the answer tomorrow or in a month...

This is what it says on the offer paper: "[...]to accept this offer and secure your place please submit your response form and pay your deposit of GBP 2000 at the latest by 29 May 2013".

I'm gonna send them an email to ask but do you think they'd be willing to give me an extension to decide? I can't decide if I don't have all the answers. The whole point of applying to many programs is to have all the answers in front of you and then decide...Imagine if I accept Cass' offer but then get positive answers from St.Gallen or Bocconi, which are arguably better programs...

On a side note, Cass was more of a "secondary" choice for me. It's one of the most expensive ones and living in London is 10x more expensive that St.Gallen, Milan or Warwick so... The reputation of Cass is also a bit lower than the rest of the ones I applied to so I really hope I get another offer. In applying to Cass, I really wanted to expand my opportunities and maximize my chances of getting accepted somewhere.
